So what front Tyres are you all using/recommending.. I currently have a fairly shagged set of RE71's on the front which will need replacing after a trackday in 2 weeks. (S02's on the back)

Cheers
Matt

shpub said: Round ones, black seem to be the fave.

Search on tyres and you will find more comments and opinions than anything else.

well that where you're wrong steve..

theres a HUGE amount of banter about the cost and availability of S02's and S03's and not a lot else...

..is this because there is "not a lot else" ??

Cheers
Matt.

Hmm.. just what I thought Podie..

is there some theoretical difference between the type of front and rear tyre required as the forces on a front tyre would be different to the forces on a rear (driven) tyre ?

..or am I just going a bit deep on this

Daviddy..

thanks for the thoughts.. please bear in mind though this isn't a lecture on expenses just whats best for the car.. I don't think anyone is being "tight" on this thread, certainly not me who asked the original question.. in fact I don't think anyones started talking about prices have they..??

Cheers
Matt.
